AMERICAN hardwoods earned overwhelming signs of approval and confidence from the region’s top interior designers and architects during the recently-concluded ifi09 Dubai, the 24th General Assembly of the International Federation of Interior Designers and Architects and the World Interior Design Congress 2009.

Playing a significant role in the prominent display of hardwoods at the event, the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), the leading international trade association for the American hardwood industry, which also participated as a gold sponsor, supported the presence of two renowned keynote speakers – interior architect Patrick Fong from Hong Kong; and British furniture designer/maker Luke Hughes. Both experts have worked with American hardwoods and are familiar with the benefits and advantages gained from using the material for their creations.
“ifi09 Dubai offered AHEC a unique opportunity to highlight the potential offered by American hardwoods in interior design and architecture,” said Roderick Wiles, consultant, AHEC.
